Dismiss keyboard when click outside of EditText in android

Question

I have an EditText called myTextview. I want the soft keyboard to show when I click on the EditText but then dismiss if I click outside of

Answer 1

I use below Process. It's Working For Me Perfectly. Add below function in your activity Class.

  override fun dispatchTouchEvent(event: MotionEvent): Boolean {
    if (event.action == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
        val v = currentFocus
        if (v is EditText) {
            val outRect = Rect()
            v.getGlobalVisibleRect(outRect)
            if (!outRect.contains(event.rawX.toInt(), event.rawY.toInt())) {
                Log.d("focus", "touchevent")
                v.clearFocus()
                val imm = getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE) as InputMethodManager
                imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(v.windowToken, 0)
            }
        }
    }
    return super.dispatchTouchEvent(event)
}

Then I will Check Focus status in my fragment.

appCompatEditText.onFocusChangeListener = View.OnFocusChangeListener { view, hasFocus ->
                if (!hasFocus) {
                    toast("Focus Off")
                }else {
                    toast("Focus On")
                }
            }

I was Checked in Fragment. I needed Focus status for my task Requirement. Focus Out I needed some task.

This way, the keyboard will only disappear when you touch a view that can gain focus. I suggest you to do the following:

Create a custom ViewGroup like this:

public class TouchLayout extends LinearLayout {

    private OnInterceptTouchEventListener mListener;

    public TouchLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
        if(mListener != null) {
            return mListener.onInterceptTouchEvent(event);
        }
        return super.onInterceptTouchEvent(event);
    }

    public void setOnInterceptTouchEventListener(OnInterceptTouchEventListener listener) {
        mListener = listener;
    }

    public interface OnInterceptTouchEventListener {
        public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(MotionEvent event);
    }
}

Then add the custom View as a root of your xml layout:

<com.example.TouchLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/root"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/text"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

And in your Activity you should do the following:

final TouchLayout root = (TouchLayout) findViewById(R.id.root);
final EditText text = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.text);
final InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);

root.setOnInterceptTouchEventListener(new OnInterceptTouchEventListener() {

    @Override
    public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
        final View v = getCurrentFocus();
        if(v != null && v.equals(text)) {
            final int screenCords[] = new int[2];
            text.getLocationOnScreen(screenCords);
            final Rect textRect = new Rect(screenCords[0], screenCords[1], screenCords[0] + text.getWidth(), screenCords[1] + text.getHeight());
            if(!textRect.contains(event.getRawX(), event.getRawY() {
                imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(myTextview.getWindowToken(), 0);
                // Optionally you can also do the following:
                text.setCursorVisible(false);
                text.clearFocus(); 
            }
        }
        return false;
    }
};

In Kotlin, I have used bellow code which is working fine

override fun dispatchTouchEvent(ev: MotionEvent): Boolean {
    val v = currentFocus
    if (v != null && (ev.action == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP || ev.action == MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE)
        && v is EditText
        && !v.javaClass.name.startsWith("android.webkit.")
    ) {
        val scrcoords = IntArray(2)
        v.getLocationOnScreen(scrcoords)
        val x = ev.rawX + v.getLeft() - scrcoords[0]
        val y = ev.rawY + v.getTop() - scrcoords[1]
        if (x < v.getLeft() || x > v.getRight() || y < v.getTop() || y > v.getBottom()
        ) hideKeyboard(this)
    }
    return super.dispatchTouchEvent(ev)
}

fun hideKeyboard(activity: Activity?) {
    if (activity != null && activity.window != null && activity.window.decorView != null
    ) {
        val imm = activity
            .getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE) as InputMethodManager
        imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(
            activity.window.decorView
                .windowToken, 0
        )
    }
}

In Java, I have used bellow code which is working fine

  @Override
public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
    View v = getCurrentFocus();

    if (v != null
            && (ev.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP || ev.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE)
            && v instanceof EditText
            && !v.getClass().getName().startsWith("android.webkit.")) {
        int scrcoords[] = new int[2];
        v.getLocationOnScreen(scrcoords);
        float x = ev.getRawX() + v.getLeft() - scrcoords[0];
        float y = ev.getRawY() + v.getTop() - scrcoords[1];

        if (x < v.getLeft() || x > v.getRight() || y < v.getTop()
                || y > v.getBottom())
            hideKeyboard(this);
    }
    return super.dispatchTouchEvent(ev);
}

public static void hideKeyboard(Activity activity) {
    if (activity != null && activity.getWindow() != null
            && activity.getWindow().getDecorView() != null) {
        InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) activity
                .getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(activity.getWindow().getDecorView()
                .getWindowToken(), 0);
    }
}
